hi all. i have been speaking to several beekeepers of european origin and they all ask why we have deep lids (50 mm ?)here in australia? has anyone tried the...
Hi Bumbleb , I know your dilemma. The Aussies developed their apiculture somewhat in isolation. Their reasons for doing what they do are not always obvious...
G'day fszut, I haven't tried the European style myself. I dont think its a problem if the bees build comb and fill it with honey up in the lid. When they do...
I have used both types of lids and found what you call a deep lid the best as it easier to remove. With the shallow lid or 'telescopic' lid there is nowhere...

The 50mm migratory lid was just that, a lid for ventilation when shifting bees and they are locked up. In the more humid areas it also supplies a way for the...
(This is the same again as I don't think it came through the first time, well I didn't get it.) The 50mm migratory lid was just that, a lid for ventilation...
Not sure where the 21.5 inch long bases comes from. Most are around 21 inches. Not true that we developed in isolation. Look in the old books to see the...

Thanks, Trevor, for the correction. That extra half inch may be the fault of my aging memory. I wonder if perhaps there was some suggestion came out of...

Hello, I'm a very new but keen beekeeper in central Victoria and am after some advice. Two of my hives are very strong with lots of bees and brood, almost to...
I would not be using raw sugar but granulated sugar. Raw sugar contains too much molasses which can cause diarrhoea in bees. If you need to feed sugar syrup,...
Thanks for the information Trevor, I¹ll probably go with plain white granulated sugar then. I am a bit worried about them swarming as they are strong and low...
2Kg of sugar will dissolve in1200ml of boiling water stir to dissolve and then let cool. This is a heavy syrup but the bees will still take it. As I understand...
